AI Thread Summary
To solve the work-kinetic energy theorem problem, the user initially applied the formula for kinetic energy but miscalculated the length of the driveway. The correct approach involves equating the gravitational potential energy lost to the work done against friction and the kinetic energy gained. The user’s calculations led to a driveway length of 7.1 meters, while the expected answer is 5.1 meters. Clarification on the role of friction and gravitational force in the energy balance is needed to resolve the discrepancy. Understanding the correct application of energy principles is crucial for accurate problem-solving in physics.

A 2.1x10^3kg car starts from rest at the top of a driveway that is sloped at an angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. An average friction force of 4.0x10^3N impedes the car's motion so that the car's speed at the bottom of the driveway is 3.8m/s. What is the length of the driveway?
What i did was:
.5mv^2=gmD(cos20)
.5(2.1x10^3)(3.8)^2=4.0x10^3d(cos 20) and got d= 7.1
I check the back of y book and the answer is 5.1. What did I do wrong? Did I use the wrong formula? How do I go about solving this problem?

That frictional force is already along the slope, so the total energy mgh will be equal to the work done by the frictional force + ke at the bottom of the incline.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
